The Human Spirit

The best emerges when odds are faced. Noticed this 8-part article on young girls of Bihar who are juggling multiple roles to uplift their as well as lives of other young girls. And the best part is that they are indeed making a difference despite facing odds which would turn majority of children in their age groups into chickens. Kudos to the journalist who had the guts to bring this excellent piece on power of human spirit. Read all the stories below and feel a sense of pride. The Daughters of Bihar 80% of the girls had not used a toilet before Many girls saw a computer for the first time 'I stole Rs 5 from my home to buy a pen and a note book' 'I tell village women if they don't educate their daughters, they will die as they were born -- unknown, unheard' 'I stay hungry in school till I get back home for dinner' 'What's the use of studying? Are you going to become a collector you think?' 'I want to teach others who haven't had a chance to go to school' Jina isi ka naam hai. What does junta feel?
